Data Validation - a feature that Numbers really needs.

Right now, the newly purchased Numbers app for iPad/iPhone is little more than a crippled document viewer for me because numbers doesn't support 'data validation' (as implemented in excel).
Its not a hard concept and likely utilized in a LOT of spreadsheets on the planet. Not supporting such a critical feature is a problem, as it makes numbers, at least for me, rather pointless as an authoring tool since I cannot change or update data in my worksheet without likely corrupting the document's data integrity.
Hopefully, someone at Apple is working on fixing this.
Given that one cannot use data validation - how do I lock down a spreadsheet so I don't accidentally change cell contents?
The fact that there is no 'undo' button on the iPhone version that I do get on the iPad (same app) makes it worse.. I'm occasionally and unintentionally dragging selections of stuff around the page really hosing up the iPhone spreadsheet.
So I need to just remember what needs to be updated, update the excel spreadsheet when I can, then delete the iWork-iCloud doc, upload the replacement, then refresh the iPhone/iPad version.. very cumbersome and not at all 'cloud-like' or usefull.
Apple developers.. are you paying attention?

Yeah I know that apple likely has the same system as Microsoft in sending general support to a forum such as this. And maybe thae same stupid moron that not paying attention to the forums if their users is a food idea.
That doesn't change the point of the issue nor that apple directs ,e here to ask said question

Lost features going from Droid to iPhone5. Is there an app for that? I have lost 2 features that I really loved on my Droid.

I have lost some features that I loved about my Droid when I made the switch. The first is the ability to view the next several calendar items I have on the home screen instead of touching the calendar to see these events. The next is the widget feature where I can just touch the picture associated with a person to call. Are there apps that can help with one or both of these features? I am almost ready to switch back.

Flash Player Feature that Is Badly Needed

no im not a web devoleper or anything like that but i do have to use the normal flash player for pages to load most about 50 percent of the web pages out there use flash
thats my quess i dont know actual numbers and some flash ads or games or just gifs thatare in lash make a webpage load really slowly i mean really slowly and some seem seem to go at about 4 fps
my idea (i dont know the proper place to give adobe my idea)
but my idea is for an option to right-click on a flash object and tell it not to load becasue of performance issues

"better search engine spider access to flash content"
Embedding with SWFObject and integrating SWFAddress will do
that.
"right-click > open link in new tab/window"
Already possible for text links.

Might buy iPhone, but can't find app that I really need

I am looking for an app to replace what I currently use on my blackberry.
I need a calling card dialing application that will allow me to dial normally or using one of my 2 calling cards. I use both google voice and ringcentral, so I need to be able to select which one I want to dial out with after dialing the number from the normal dialing screen. I don't want to have to dial out through a special application based on which card I need to dial out with. Nor do I want to have to switch the calling card to active before I dial because I switch back and forth between the three dialing methods all day long.
This is a real problem because I need to get a new phone and I can't stand blackberry anymore! I hope someone can help!

I hate BB, I'm done with RIM. And actually, I just bought a Droid X last night. I searched for 10 hours for an app on android and couldn't find anything. So, I'm actually considering taking the Droid X back and getting an iphone instead. I really want to keep the droid, but my business needs must come ahead of my geeky needs.
Anyway.....Just found this.
http://callingcard.marigoholdings.com/Welcome.html
It has a GUI that looks exactly like the native phone app, and you can call from there with an interception asking which calling card to use. Exactly what I wanted. The only downside is that it uses the native phone to call out so you must switch back to this one after every call. And the call log in the real phone shows the calling card number, while the destination number is only visible in the 3rd party dialer. Not a huge problem to me, it's much better than anything on android. Plus, we are an all mac household so the iphone makes a lot of sense. I'll bet this app will be out for android one day really soon, but I need a phone now.

Help! iphone 5 was run over by a car.There are 2 apps that I REALLY need, to get on my ipad. I was able to sync even though the phone itself won't work, so there should be a backup on my computer. Is this possible? I need the info in the apps.

I kept a journal and my running bank account balance on the iphone. I am really at a loss without these. The journal was also my baby's eat/sleep/etc. log. Please help!!

If these apps are also iPad compatible, you can download them directly. Make sure you are logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID that made the purchase. (Settings > iTunes & App Stores)
On the iPad:
Open App Store > Updates > Purchased

Since update 3.6.11 I lost use of several plugins such as firebug (that I really need), Firefox become very slow or freeze, and I am not able to follow some links. Any possibility to solve or come back to older version ?

I just recently upgraded my iPad and since then certain websites will no longer open up on the iPad but i can still access them on my mac pro laptop. WHY????? One of these websites is a work related website that i really need.

I can open some websites on my ipad but not all. The websites that are no longer opening were all working up till 3 days ago when I did the update on the ipad. The websites that I can't open on the ipad i can switch to my macbook pro and open no problem. I have tried to check all settings and just can't figure out what is going on. One of the websites I can no longer open is ikea and also a work related website. I can load the opening page but when I try to sign in it won't do anything including not even an error message. Please help..

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Data Validation in Excel used in Format Range

Hi Experts,
Im just wondering if there's a way i can use format range to carry out the data validation of excel.
i mean, i need to limit the users to enter only numberic data to the input cells, hence they cannot input any letter and negative values.
i tried applying the data validation in format range but, its not spreading the data validation.
if i apply data validation to every cell, when i expand, the data validation disappears.
Any advise.
Thanks much as always...

Hi,
I was not able to use Data Validation in FORMAT RANGE.
If you want to apply this data validation for the whole data range, you can apply this data validation in the first cell of the first row,first column of evdre. It will apply to the whole data range.
If you want to apply this for certain columns, its a bit tricky.
You must break your columnKeyRange into 2 and insert a column in between. In the 1st columnkeyrange, get the data, hide this column alone and add this column in getonlyrange. Next, in the newly inserted columns between the 2 column key ranges, you can use your Data Validation in 1st row. While expanding, it will automatically copy the data validation to the remaining rows. Now, In the second columnkeyrange, get the value based on the data validation cell, hide this column alone. So now you will have 3 columns, with those in the column key ranges as hidden ones and the one in between will be shown to the users.
I know, this workaround is a bit tricky, but it works flawlessly. I have used this for umpteen sheets.

Is there a way to get historical data for an AP that is no longer online via Prime?

I am running a wireless network with about 130 AP's connected to a 8510 controller and using Prime for management. I am trying to get AP utilization for an AP that is no longer connected and when I try to run the report Prime reports that it cannot pull the report because the AP is offline.
Is there some way to get historical data for this AP? Does Prime store this type of data?
Seth

I believe that all devices need to be up in order to pull any information current or historically. If the AP is down, I don't think that a report in Prime will show info for that given device even if you set the date/time to when it was up. Never really looked into that as I've never tried to look at info if the access point was down. If you run a report on channel changes, does the AP show up?

How can i get my photos and videos back after backing up from my 2nd generation ipod into my 5th generation ipod? I really need those photos but i dont know how.

I downloaded the new itunes. So, i plugged in my 5th generation ipod and when i plugged it in, it asked me if i want to set it as new ipod or back up from the 2nd generation ipod touch that i plugged in before, i accidently clicked on the back up from before so it when its done, it looked like my 2nd gen. ipod and i dont like it. All my photos and videos from 5th gen. Ipod were all gone and there are some pictures that i really need as soon as possible. Is there a way i can i can get those photos and videos back? I really need them. :(

Did you fail to import them to your computer?
If so, then they are gone.

Major Issues with installing 4tb internal. Really need advice please

In the process of a long needed upgrade to my 2010 Mac Pro Quad core 2.8 and have run into a serious headache that I really need advice on so I can get back to work. I've already spent 2 days dealing with all of this...
Just did a new SSD install and Migration which went fine but I'm also updating the rest of the internal drives. My main (non boot) drive was being upgraded from a Seagate Barracuda 3tb to a 4th Deskstar NAS (it was showing as compatible with my desktop, see links below). My 3tb ran fine for years but now due to it being heavily used I want to switch to a new drive and I can also use a bit more space.
The issue I'm running into is that initially on boot, my system was telling me it couldn't recognize the disk and it wasn't even showing up in Disk Utility. I had to purchase a SATA USB 3 kit to attach it as an external to get it to show which worked without problem. With the USB kit I was then able to partition it (GUID, Mac OS extended journaled) and format it properly. After reinserting the drive into my tower as an internal it failed to show again. After a few attempts of restarts and trying various bays it popped up but showed as a non formatted drive and I was told again that the system didn't recognise it. I was then given the option to initialise and was then actually able to then format and partition it though Disk Utility while it was installed as an internal.
Figured that was problem solved but when I went to check the drive and getting ready to transfer files over I noticed that Disk Utility was only allowing the First Aid and Partition options but not Erase, RAID, Restore which I'd never seen before. I then also noticed that none of the drive connection info was in the same format nor will it even provide drive bay info, connection info or read/write status (See screen shots). This is what I can't figure out and really need to clarify before I put full trust into using this drive.
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
Deskstar 4tb internal info which is installed in Bay 2
3tb Seagate which I trying to retire and transfer from.
Here are the weblinks to the Deskstar 4tb drive and the compatibility list but I support isn't allowing me to add direct links so add the www. before hand.
(Drive - eshop.macsales.com/item/HGST/0S03664/) (compatibility list - eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=macpromid2010.html).

What OSX version?
Disk Utility in later versions of ML and I think Mavericks have problems formatting with 4 TB internal drives.

'Easy Set-up' Option - Problem with edit canvas/windows - really need help!

Hello Everyone. . .
Have a problem that i really need help with, i have tried so many different things to sort this - but with no sucess.
I usually work in High Definition and i have recently done a small project for someone in DV. When changing to work in DV, i selected the DV setup from the 'Easy Setup' menu. I have now changed back to HD and there are a few things different with Final Cut that i can't shift!
When i move a clip from the capture bin into the edit window, the clip no longer fills that window like it always used to and there are lines at the top and the bottom of the clip - almost like it is in widescreen.
Editing like this wasn't too much of a problem, but when i came to compress and do a final render of the whole film - there was the same black lines on the top and bottom of the film.
I can't figure out how to get the setting back to how they were, and have the clips fill the edit windows and fix the end render/compress.
Any ideas from anyone on what i am experiancing with all this? And. . . how to fix this problem?
Any help on all this will be very much appreciated!
